I've been thinking of building something along the lines of this, but the data required was always the limiting factor for me.
Where do you get your data? Do you use Yelp's API, do a little data scraping, or are there sources with this stuff?
- gregstoll 18y agoThat's the problem - all the restaurants on the site were entered manually by me (and my friends). Taking a quick look at the Yelp API TOS, it looks like you might be able to use their data. (but of course I'm not a lawyer)
- joshwa 18y agoI have something vaguely similar -- http://lunchmapr.com/ http://lunchmapr.com/ Though it's more focused on private/smallgroup sharing. I've been considering a refactor lately to enable more lightweight list sharing, and having some kind of collaborative database of restaurants, ratings, etc. Was considering scraping the NYC Health Inspection database to seed the data... citysearch and menupages don't license, yelp doesn't permit you to show any reviews but theirs...
